More on the moron

Okay, so there is a lot to look at on the web. More sites I have been visiting:

Israeli Timeline of significant events in West Asia:
http://www.mapreport.com/countries/israel.html

A fun Israeli site featuring Elvis impersonators. I will say this: film I see makes Israel look much more like Los Angeles than other West Asian countries, especially Islamic Theocracies.
http://www.israel21c.org/

If America Knew. org
Pro-Palestinian site that is built on the equation that the Israelis have killed ten times more children than they have lost. I dunno, what do YOU do when your kids get blown up at the day care center?

Peta-sort of protest about some ice skater wearing fur:

History is a Weapon. Site features Howard Zinn and seems to forward a contra-traditional view of history ala People's History of the United States.

And I guess that is it. Thanks for reading. I look forward to your comments and to writing better.

Good to know, hard to forget

Amy Goodman has a strong show going today, marking Howard Zinn's death and last night's State of the Union address, mainly with Noam Chomsky.
Amy, of course is on KPFK Los Angeles 90.7 FM, Pacifica Radio. Outstanding perspective far outside the mainstream media. Very worthwhile listening.
Right now, Zinn (interviewed last year) is reminiscing about his role in bombing Germany from the air at the end of WWII.
Now Alice Walker, a student of Zinn's at Spellman College in Atlanta, "...so Howie gets up and says 'I stand to the left of Mao Tse Tung.' Now no one could believe anyone saying such a thing. I was incredible lucky to have met him."
